500. Common sense about artifacts

"If you're going to woo me, then I'll say yes."

Kassandra clasped her hands to her chest and looked at the witcher with a smirk.

Lan En, on the other hand, had a calm expression, he was already very good at dealing with these beautiful women with a mouth full of meat jokes.

"You're beautiful, Kassandra. Maybe what happens in your mouth if you had a different scenario, but not now. ”

"You know what I came to the One-Eyed Man for, he gave me a name before he died. Elpinor, he called the mercenary who wanted to kill me from the one-eyed camp. Do you have a clue about the name? ”

"Elpino?"

Kassandra, who was originally thinking of two more meat jokes, also frowned at this time.

"He's the one who gave me a big deal, and like you, he's only recently come to Kephallonia. This doesn't make sense, you two don't have anything to do with it at all, why would he want to kill you? ”

"Who knows? Maybe it's because of the gods and ghosts. ”

Lan En has no intention of guessing the reason here, so he found the main owner and asked directly.

"Do you know where he is now? If I were to kill him, I would make up for the reward he promised you. ”

"It doesn't matter what the pay is, we're friends, Lan. If he wants to kill you, then I won't work for him. ”

Kassandra frowned and shook her head, her expression a little embarrassed.

"What I'm worried about is that it's almost impossible for someone like him to leave a mark after something fails. As I told you, he came to Kephalonya from out of town. When you want to leave, you can get on the ship, there is no trace at all, and it does not take time. ”

In the fragmented geography of the Greek world, it is not easy to find a person after going to sea.

The Witcher's ability to track down can only stop at the port docks on the island.

"He's entrusted you with a big deal." After a moment's thought, Lan En pinched his chin and came up with an idea. "When you're done, he's supposed to tell you where to get your bounty, right?"

"I know what you think, do you want to go there and block him? But it's not easy, he calls himself 'Kira's Elpino', but I don't think that name can be taken seriously. Phorgis was the site of the famous prophet Pythia, where hundreds of people gathered every day from all parts of the Greek world in the hope of receiving prophecies from the Pythias. ”

At this, a smile appeared on Kassandra's face.

"Let me see, why don't you finish this task with me, and then go to Elpino with your credentials. At that point, he will certainly not hide from me. ”

Lan En thought for a moment, then nodded.

If he appears in Fautis, then Elpino will have to dodge. But if it was Kassandra who went to collect the bounty, he would be unsuspecting and would be easy to find.

"It's decided, I'll finish your mission with you first, I'm really curious why that guy killed me."

Hearing that Ryan had agreed to follow her, Kassandra's mood was noticeably happier.

With a flick of her shoulder, Icarus, who had been standing on it, flapped his wings and flew around the sailing Adrestia.

The crew working on deck occasionally salute it.

Kassandra pulled the scimitar from her waist that Rann had thrown at her during the battle.

"This knife is really good, it must have been mixed with good artifact fragments."

Artifact shards?

Lan immediately opened a new document in Mentos's mind, the first time he had been exposed to local occult knowledge since coming into this world.

But on the surface, the witcher remained silent.

"This is the equipment of the mercenary who tried to kill me. No, you don't have to give it back to me, it's just for you. After all, I might kill your employer in the future. ”

Kassandra paid no attention to Lane's joke, and after graciously thanking her, she slipped the cutlass back into the leather lanyard around her waist.

"Thank you, you're welcome. This knife amplifies the power of fire, a weapon of this caliber that I have never seen in Kephalonia, and it is almost inferior to my broken spear! ”

Kassandra's fingers rubbed against the edge of the scimitar at her waist, and she could tell she liked the powerful weapon.

And the performance of this scimitar in her hand also shows that this scimitar 'likes' her.

"Can you tell me about this weapon?"

Lann's hand rested on the wooden railing beside the boat, and the Aegean Sea occasionally splashed up, bringing a fresh damp air.

"I'm curious about these things, and in return, that mercenary actually left a nice bow."

"Of course, no problem! But don't you have any artifacts there? ”

"We rely on something else to fight there."

Lan quickly skipped the topic.

Kassandra has a generous and informal personality, so she doesn't dwell too much.

"Artifact fragments, artifacts and fragments made by the gods, which the best blacksmiths can use to make magical armor and weapons. And only those who are considered qualified by the gods can use these things. ”

Lan En thought of the extraordinary defensive power displayed by the female mercenary after his supersonic projectile hit Anyu.

Her leather armor was shattered, and her kidneys were shattered, but only her skin was intact, just bruised.

Rann suddenly looked up and asked Kassandra.

"So when you assassinated, you obviously stabbed someone else's skull with a broken spear, but you still had to twist your neck at the end of the battle to deal with the protection of the artifact?"

"The artifact will make the warriors who can use it extremely powerful." Kassandra clasped her hands over her chest and stood beside Ran.

"You can't imagine that I once stabbed a man in the kidney from behind with my broken spear, and the wound was deep enough to fit the entire palm of my hand. But the guy turned around and knocked me away, and then chased me with a big axe like no one else. It took me a lot of effort to get rid of him. ”

Kassandra smiled fearlessly.

"Of course, I wasn't as physically strong as I am now, and I wasn't as skilled as I am now. After that, I will make sure to do the most harm to everyone I assassinate on the first contact. ”

"Wise decisions, you are very good at learning lessons." Lane was full of praise for Kassandra.

"But what about the loot you killed that man? I didn't see any good quality armor or anything else on you? ”

Rann remembers the first time she met Kassandra, dressed in burlap and punched in the nose by a bandit and had to put her head back to stop the bleeding.

"Although the artifact is magical, it will gradually lose its power in the confrontation with other artifacts."

Kassandra spread her hands towards Lanen, signaling that she wasn't hiding it, that she wasn't the character to press good things to the bottom of the box.

"All that's left of that armor is a pile of rotten leather. That's why I said that this scimitar is of good quality, it doesn't seem to have fought against a few artifacts, so the power is still very strong, tsk, you really didn't use the artifact to get that mercenary done! ”

With a 'poof', Kassandra pulled her broken spear from behind her back and looked at Lan En proudly.

"Of course, it's still not as good as my old buddy. I suspect that my broken spear may be the only one in this world, and it won't lose its strength in the fight against other artifacts! ”
